Road Vehicle Accidents in Sutton Coldfield

Sutton Coldfield, or more properly, The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, is now a town in the city of Birmingham in the West Midlands, although formerly it was in Warwickshire. The name Sutton Coldfield might mean the south settlement (south of perhaps Lichfield or Tamworth) on the charcoal fields. Human activity in the area dates back to Neolithic times, and the Roman Icknield Street passes though Sutton Park, providing evidence of their time in the area. When the Roman occupation of Britain ended, the area transferred into Saxon hands coming under the rule of the kingdom of Mercia, an area which had Tamworth as its capital. It was William the Conqueror who was responsible for Sutton Chase becoming a Royal Forest and hunting ground. In those days there would have been no road vehicle accidents in Sutton Coldfield unless they involved pedestrians or horses and carts or carriages.
